In this task I will be describing eight different stakeholders which are; customers, employees, suppliers, owners, trade unions, employer associations, local and national communities and the government. I will be stating what they are, who they are, why they useful, how they influence stake holders on organisation and why they are useful to business I have chosen which is Tesco and The British Heart Foundation.

It is important for Tesco to have motivated employees which can help them succeed and gain awards for the best customer services. Tesco’s employees also need to help the customers and other stakeholders in order for them to return. This could also lead to people buying more shares in the business. The influence is customer satisfaction, stock, whether the customer returns because of Tesco’s quality products and prices or whether their service is good, if they don’t then Tesco’s customer service is not good enough.
British Heart Foundation does not have as much employees compared to Tesco, this is because Tesco is a global profit making business but British Heart Foundation is to help the society and people usually would volunteer to work which means they don’t get paid, but there aren’t much people who have time to do volunteer work. The employees interests is to get as many clients as possible to provide a good clean service to help the community and get rewards. British Heart Foundation needs employees for only a minority of things such as receptionist, working at the gift shop and advisors who a professional. British Heart Foundation would employ people who are interested in the organisation and who are willing and committed for them to do well. Their employees are usually older people or people who want experience
Stakeholder – person, group or organization that has interest or concern in an organization (businessdictionary)
There are many stakeholders involved in Macmillan and BT. A stakeholder is someone who effected directly or indirectly as a result of the activity of the business. These stakeholders can be internal or external. An internal stakeholder are people who are within the business such as the owners or managers. External stakeholders are people who are outside of the business such as suppliers or the community. Either way, they all have a relation to the business which will effect them.
In this task I am going to show how each stakeholder has affected Tesco in a positive way and in a negative way. Tesco is a British national grocery which has many supermarkets all over the United Kingdom and other countries including china and Poland. Tesco has around 7 thousand stores around the world reaching over 560 thousand employees hired.
The key stakeholders in a business include customers, suppliers, employees, local and national communities and governments.
A stakeholder is a person or a group of individual who are interested in the success of a business in delivering successful results and maintaining the activity of the businesses products and services. There are internal and external stakeholders in every company. An internal stakeholder is someone who is internally connected to the business that have personal interests which they may follow. An external stakeholder can be a person or a group of people such as investors, customers, suppliers, people who are predisposed by the business but are not fully in the business.
I will be relating the type of business, purpose and ownership of the two contrasting organisations. The two organisations that I will be choosing are: Oxfam and Sainsbury’s.
John Kew and John Stredwick mention that Jonhson et all 2011 defines a stakeholder as “those individuals or groups who depend on the organisation to fulfil their own goals and on who in turn the organisation depends.”
Stakeholders have a significant influence on the aims of an organisation. They are the people who are affected by or interested in the business. In some organisations the shareholders are stakeholders, and at times have some of the decision power. In trade organisations, customers are also considered stakeholders; therefore their needs are part of the organisation’s overall objectives.
A stakeholder is a party that has an interest in a company. It may affect by the business or organization actions. Typically, the prime stakeholders are customers and employees. Patagonia is eco-friendly clothes are gaining the support of consumers and non-governmental organizations in the U.S. Since the company is a certified B Corp, they provide workers with certain benefits, the community and the environment. Patagonia outdoor clothing and gear retailer is well known for sustainability. They protect the environment and inspire social change. The company overall environmental and social performance is measured and independently verified a third party. Patagonia believes that full of practice transparency will be the ones in the future rewarded
The first stakeholder I am going to evaluate is customers which are external stakeholders. Customers contribute to profit levels and turnover through buying products and services. People are stakeholders in a company for financial reasons, customers do not want to have to spend an excessive amount of money to purchase a product, so if the product is cheaper in one store, such as Tesco, than in another store then customers will buy the cheaper one which then attracts more customers.
A stakeholder is someone who someone who benefits or is burdened by a corporation, or someone who the corporation benefits or is burdened by. (Steiner). Stakeholders are represented by two main groups; primary and secondary
Employees and volunteers are the people that would want to assist the Red Cross by providing a service to help victims. They would both be concerned for the success of the business as the employees would want to be getting paid well and the volunteers would want to get an experience of helping people out. The difference between the employees and volunteers is that the employees would be getting paid for working for the Red Cross on the other hand; the volunteers would also be working for the Red Cross
A stake holder, in general is defined as an individual or organization likely affected by the performance of an organization. In “The stakeholder theory of the corporation: Concepts, evidence, and implications” by Thomas Donaldson , he quotes Stanford research institution and calls stake holders “those groups without whose support the organization would cease to exist.”
These are essentially people and/or companies that may have interest in what goes on with known businesses or companies. Stakeholder’s main interests are profit growth and dividends because their goal is to get a return on the money they invested.
The (word) stakeholder means any person with an interest in business, someone who can contribute to the company grows and success or who benefits from its success. The various stakeholders in business have differing role and their level of involvement in the enterprise varies
